Clinic day: get to work by 7:30 a.m. See patients until 5:30 p.m. – try to get billing and as many notes as possible done before the end of the day. Get home by 6 p.m., put my kids to bed by 8 p.m., then work on research projects until too tired to work more. Research day: get kids ready for school, leave home at 7:30 a.m., get to work by 8 a.m. The day is spent mostly working on writing, data analysis, slide making, etc. punctuated by meetings. Get home by 6 p.m., kids in bed by 8 p.m., work on clinical work afterwards.
I work about 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. every day on average. I try to sleep six to seven hours a night. I take about three full weeks of vacation a year, but try to turn off from work on the weekends as well.
Wow, a specialist who had a father as a physician, has a physician as a husband, took out no loans ( daddy probably aid for everything), has kids and a seemingly good wlb. Privileged life. Why don't they do interviews with a few D.O. s? Or maybe a few people who actually had challenges in life. And for gods sake interview somebody who had loan debt. 90% of these interviewees had little or no loans.
